Fabulous fat activist and fashion genius Jill Andrew is organizing the second annual Body Confidence Canada Awards. I'm delighted they used the furry Yay! Scale® in the event logo!
Do you know people who are "actively fighting against stereotypes, judgments, policies, and discrimination that attempt to label marginalized bodies (i.e. fat, racialized, dis/abled etc.) as unhealthy, uninspired, or underachieving"? Nominate them! (Deadline's tomorrow!)
The awards ceremony happens Sept. 9, which is also International Day of Beauty (created by the International Committee of Aesthetics and Cosmetology adopted by the World Congress in 1995).

This image is part of a series of quotes about body confidence, created to publicize the awards. I'm honored to be included. I believe body confidence is partly about personal attitude but also very much about what kind of society we live in. If we lived in a society that welcomes every body, would we need body confidence awards? Or would that just be a minimum standard everyone enjoyed?
